One breath 7 days trip! - Recently I experienced a most amazing breathtaking adventure going with my daughter Evelina to a 7 day tour with Viator guides... The tour was brilliantly organized and performed through efforts of such outstanding talented guides as Roberto and Lorenzo. Also the drivers and the rest of the interpretors team. Roberto surrounded us, tourists, with his special warm attention, care and comfort; Lorenzo picked up our spirit to the level of heaven and carried us in heavenly blissful mood during our several days trips to grandiose canyons and valleys, monumental parks and historic routes! His romantic admiration of natural wonders couldn't leave untouched anybody's soul! His wonderful performance was amplified with impressive American and Italian signature songs that would carry everyone in bliss during our long bus drive... Everyone was excited and inspired! It takes certain talent, mood and deep knowledge to organize everything into one masterpiece tour - that was our impression of Lorenzo' s performance... I am very grateful to our guides and drivers who were working so hard and non stop to make all of us feel comfortable and joyful! Thanks to the Viator organizers, Diana Belinska Atlanta, GA

My San Francisco to all the CANYONS IN UTAH - I had the most beautiful and interesting trip to all the awesome places here in California. The tour guides Lorenzo and Roberto we're great and fun and informative. My favourite was Lorenzo,he made my trip exciting, incredible and heavenly by taking us through the history of the places and of the country past. He was my great photographer cause I was traveling alone. The Drivers were excellent. Thank you guys you the best. The help assistant and caring by the employees on tour , all of them were excellent. Love you guys. Viator thank you for organising such a platform. Made it safe for me as a single woman of 60 to travel in another country safely.

Excellent tour and great value for money. - I was solo travelling solo. The 7 day tour is actually a composite of 3 tours ( LA to San Fransisco and Yosemite, transportation to LV with overnight stay , LV to Grand Canyon , Antelope, Bryce canyons , Zion park and back to LA). Roberto was the main guide and he was excellent and was very well organised. He was ably assisted by few other guides including Michael Hansel who acted as interpreters to the diverse group of global travellers in the party. We travelled comfortably in a a big tour bus with wifi facilities. The accommodations provided were excellent. Overall, the sense of organisation and the attention to detail was highly impressive. The trip obviously involves long distance travel hence the time spent on each location was rather limited but this was inevitable to cover all the highlights of the tour. It was a travel product with great value for money even with a single traveller supplement cost. I would highly recommend this tour for those who have a limited time but wish to see many attractions from the west coast.

Tiring but worth the money - Went on this tour and it's worth every penny spent. The tour guides were very informative and knowledgeable. We had to change guides and buses once we started off our 4th day of the tour. The first part covers more of the Californian coastal towns of Santa Barbara and Solvang. Next is the city tour of San Francisco - City Hall, Chinatown and a cruise to the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatras. Las Vegas comes alive with its nightlife and spectacular views. The second part of the tour brings us spectacular rock formations at three different famed locations in Arizona and Utah. Also took a boat cruise of Lake Powell. Overall, we are privileged to view the coastal as well as the desert landscapes during this tour. Kudos to the tour operator for such a memorable trip.

American West, deserts and Las Vegas. All in one. - Definitely one of the best scenic tours I have ever taken. Incredible landscapes, in natural settings of indescribable beauty, both in Yosemite and Grand Canyon, as well as in Brice Canyon, Antelope Canyon and Zion National Park. .. Good tours with unforgettable views on 17 Mile Drive, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. People of various nationalities went on the tours, so there were several guides in each of the three parts of the tour. As for the guidance in Spanish, excellent guides, although only one of them (in the second part of the tour) was 100% in native Spanish. The other two were, a Brazilian and an Italian respectively, but with a very good level of Spanish, and they made an effort at all times to answer my questions and clear up my doubts. Excellent hotels with breakfasts as expected, except in Las Vegas, where they give you a voucher for Starbucks, which does its job well. The tour presented variations with respect to what was offered and how it was offered on the internet. On the one hand, we did not stop at Horseshoe Bend, as promised, and on the other hand, the Lake Powell cruise did not take place. Despite the above, I highly recommend this tour. In any case, it is a very complete route, quite interesting, with truly amazing landscapes.
